Hi,
When I create an SQL connection from my workstation within an Excel file, other users are unable to refresh the data.
Error Message:
“[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified”
The connection string being:
DRIVER=SQL Server Native Client 10.0;
SERVER=SQLSERVER;
UID=*ME*;
Trusted_Connection=Yes;
APP=Microsoft Office 2010;
WSID=0347;
But they are able to refresh the data if I create the connection from their own workstation.
The connection string being:
DRIVER=SQL Server Native Client 10.0;
SERVER=SQLSERVER;
UID=*OTHERUSER*;
Trusted_Connection=Yes;
APP=Microsoft Office 2010;
WSID=0348;
I can refresh any connection from my workstation regardless of who created it.
I need all users to be able to refresh files that I have created from my workstation.
Presumably the issue is the SQL Server credentials, but if someone is able to confirm this and offer a solution I’d be most grateful.
